Will the next DA be about the sixth blight? Was reading "The Last Flight" and it came upon me that no blight ever occurs within hundred years of the next. I mean for DA to suceed, it needs one big main objective and this is always the objective that captivates people. DA is and will always be about the Wardens because of DAO.

 

DAO/DAA

 

save the world from the blight by forging alliances, stopping civil wars, saving cities and keep

 

DA2

 

all over  the place as it was a story told from Varric's POV. the devs can in fact retconned easily by saying that Varric added his own spice and sugar to the story, so part of it is false and never actually happened. at least it will be better than the epilouge are just nothing but rumors.

 

although the main story is about mage-templar war, but the first act was about going to deep roads, 2nd act was about Arishok, only the 3rd act was about the mage-templar war. no sense of major purpose and this is why DA2 fails. IMHOI, DA2 is just a short prequel to DAI (much like DAA as a short sequel to DAO) so that people can understand the mage-templar war better.

 

DAI

 

gonna be epic because of the major problem that is the big hole in the veil and the Elder One. forging alliances, suppressing civil wars (Olaris) and solving the mage-templar conflict to bring Thedas together for the major problem will be like DAO so I really do not see DAI failing as much as DA2 unless the endings are bad or the game is full of bugs.

 

The next DA game

 

For it to succeed, it cannot be like DA2 when there is no 1 big major purpose. And since we are done with one blight and the hole, i cannot see any other major problem except the blight for the story to have meaning. in any case, i love blights, warden and archdemon.

 

Thoughts?

It's WAY too early for another blight when the fifth one just ended a mere decade ago :mellow:

Me personally, I think the next DA will focus around the war between Tevinter and the Qunari. Just my thought, your idea sounds interesting :)

the problem with your assessment is that dragonage 2 is a longer game in length than origins, unless you are counting all of origin's dlc (awakening, golems of amgarrack, witch hunt) but since you separated awakening from origins in your critique of the game origins would be indeed shorter than 2.

first thing i beileve its been stated there are rumors of another blight starting near the grey warden fortress second.

 

i am pretty sure DA4 will be the qunari invasion of thedas (a new one) 

 

I would guess DA5 (which will be the final chapter of this current arc) will have to do with The end of the dragon age maybe why they came back and how to defeat them (probobly a megablight with all remaining old gods being tainted and awakened so if i remember right 3 archdemons)

 

also could be wrong but i am pretty sure DA2 gets the hate from reused enviroments little explanation and incredable linarity 
(i still loved it) but the story seems to have mixed at worst opinions i dont think DA2 story was its downfall

I have a feeling that if the Dragon Age story continues past Inquisition, we'll likely see a Sixth Blight occur in the midst of some kind of massive war, which'll make all the more perilous. Bioware might pull a Dagor Dagorath and have Dumat (or some kind of overlord of the Archdemons) return and resurrect all of the fallen Old Gods, then lead them and the largest host of Darkspawn ever seen to war on the surface. But that's not likely.

A story that Flemeth play a bigger and more important role is fine, but time traveling story would be terrible. Let's stick to the current timeline.

I expected the next DA game will be focus on Tevinter-Qunari War.

If you retell a story in Varric style..how is that time traveling ? If you reenact a war in the past.....it is no scifiic...its just a story being told . And RPG are all about telling stories .

Judging by this comment. I'd say you actually want to go back during Andraste time. Perhaps you should be more specific that whether you want Varric style of retelling a story, or an actual time traveling.

Maybe not. The makings of fifth blight was a tad unconventional as the Architect started it. It seems unlikely but it is conceivable that the rest of the horde was seeking and maybe almost found a different Old God before the Architect awakened Urthemiel and diverted all of the hordes attention.

This is my thought as well.

 

The only way I could see the Sixth Blight happening so soon is a result of the Fifth Blight being ended so quickly. Since Blights tend to run for decades and the Darkspawn forces are all massed on the surface, their numbers are hugely wittled down by the time that the Archdemon is finally slain. Unfortunately, because the Warden managed to kill Urthemiel in record time, then it's possible that the massive numbers of Darkspawn that had been growing for centuries had yet to emerge properly by the time of the Battle of Denerim, leaving a ton of Darkspawn still underground to around to hunt around for the two remaining Old Gods?

Blights usually happen centuries after the previous ones but who knows...

 

It's likely DA4 will center around the Thedas-Qunari war. Tevinter will probably be one of the locations. You might even be able to pick a side who knows.

 

For some reason, playing Origins yesterday when Sten said something about how the "Arishok will send the Qunari against you" I was like: this is gonna happen

Well, speaking of the next DA game focused on Qunati Invasion and Tevinter-Qunari War. Anyone here want to speculate how much Sten and the Arishok's fate or who possess Tome of Koslun's choice, and also whether the player help Tallis will impact the story.

 

Hopefully we won't have to suffer from very linear plot with the lack of options if we ever run into Felicia Day Tallis again. :ph34r:

as what many people had said, it is like the quanri and/or tevinter invasion. hopefully it will be as epic as DAO and not like DA2.

I'm going to wait until I've actually seen how Inquisition shapes the world before i start to speculate what story BioWare will tell next.

I hope not. I'd like the next DA game to be about exploration, something like Sir Francis Drake or Christopher Columbus. You could be from Orlais or Rivain, and you're paid to travel and explore other countries like Nevarra, Antiva, Tevinter or even Par Vollen, for _____ reasons. That could establish more about the other nations and lead into a war with the Qunari.

I disagree with the idea that a bigger conflict is inherently a better one. I also think that another Blight might just be retreading what the writers have already done.

 

And, just because you can't think of a good new conflict for the next game doesn't mean the devs can't.

 

Tevinter-Qunari War.... :whistle:

 

Yup.

Yeah most likely going to Tevintir and deal with the Qunari war after The Elder One is dealt with. And after that, I'd like an exploration theme Sequel. Traveling beyond the edges of the map and explore the wider world on the Ship. You would be the Explorer with your faithful crew of companions.
